So close: Great British Bake Off’s semi-final on Tuesday saw Janusz Domagala become the ninth contestant to be eliminated from the competition
And while Janusz finished up third in the prior challenge, it was the showstopper which proved to be his downfall as they were tasked to create Swedish-inspired biscuit sculpture.
Despite giving it his best with his interpretation of Brighton Pride, it wasn’t enough to convince judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith to give him a place in the final.
Watching the action on screen, viewers at home were quick to share their upset that the Polish personal assistant will no longer be in the competition.
One viewer tweeted: ‘Not Janusz his bakes were all amazing and looked delicious #GBBO watching him makes me so happy like his smile would bring me joy and now the joy is gone.’
